Martha. (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose
brother Lazarus was sick.) Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest

Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water,
and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy
lifetime receivest thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: [B]ut now he is comforted, and thou
